Definitions
- the invention relates to a driving device and a method for modernizing a driving device according to the preamble of the independent claims.
- Driving devices are escalators and moving walks with a plurality of, connected to an endless conveyor, stages or pallets for the transport of users and / or other loads, such as hand luggage or shopping cart.
- the steps or pallets form a conveying surface.
- balustrades are usually arranged laterally of the steps or pallets of the driving device. In the area everyone
- Balustrade is a support system to which the balustrade is attached.
- the carrier system is covered at the top by a cover assembly and laterally by a side cover.
- the cover assembly and the side panel are usually fastened by means of fastening means on the carrier system, which is also designed for this purpose.
- Conventional driving devices are tuned with regard to the height of the balustrade and the height of the handrail and exclusively for the safe use of the escalator or the moving walk, which is also required in appropriate building regulations. These building regulations must be adhered to by the operator or the client.
- balustrades of conventional driving devices only reach the height of the handrail, these driving devices are very dangerous for very large passengers insofar as their center of gravity lies above the balustrade or the handrail. You could possibly topple over the balustrade.
- passengers deliberately jump over the balustrade or that passengers are involuntarily pushed over the balustrade This happens, for example, in football stadiums when hooligans rush down from a vehicle or push other passengers off a vehicle.
- the barrier is very solid and heavy and consists of a large number of mechanically complex components. Such a barrier is therefore expensive and time consuming to install.
- clamps in the form of ordinary sheet-metal angles or angle profiles are used. These clamps hold a forming tube or profile tubes, whereby a skeleton (structure or supporting skeleton) of the barrier.
- each forming tube or profile tube a U-profile (about 25-30 pieces per escalator side) is welded to the truss as an additional end fitting or end holder.
- the connection of these U-profiles requires extra welding work and additional material costs including the welding electrodes and an additional cutting work and calibration work.
- the partitions are then attached with a variety of suitable fasteners.
- the partitions are usually made of clamping plates or Plasterboard to do the lightweight construction suffice. Such partitions are sensitive to point loads secured and can be easily imprinted locally.
- a ⁇ bdeckprofil or a cover plate is placed over the entire length of the partitions.
- the covering profile is fastened by a large number of clamping springs (about 40 -50 pieces per escalator side).
- the driving device with a balustrade for carrying a handrail and with a Forderflache for the transport of
- Passengers is characterized in that at the balustrade a barrier to prevent fall of the passengers of the vehicle is arranged.
- This barrier exceeds the height of the balustrade or the handrail and is next to the handrail ie the side of the balustrade at about the same height on which the hands of the passengers hold the handrail attached.
- the barrier is thus advantageously easily accessible mounted in an upper region of the balustrade. It consists of a small number of components and can be fast and easy to assemble. For example, a fitter standing on the conveyor surface of the escalator mounts the barrier.
- the driving device has the advantage that the barrier is higher than the balustrade or the interior lining and thus prevents a crash of passengers from the driving device as a barrier.
- the barrier extends to shoulder height of a person standing upright on the conveying surface.
- the shoulder height in Europe is about 150 cm.
- Such a driving device has the advantage that the barrier is designed so high that the accidental dropping or crashing of passengers from the vehicle is practically impossible.
- the barrier extends to the head level of a person standing upright on the conveying surface.
- the head height in Europe is about 170 cm.
- the driving device thus offers the advantage of even higher fall protection of the passengers, creating an intentional or voluntary
- balustrade clamps by means of a
- the barrier consists of single-pane safety glass or laminated safety glass of preferably 10 mm thickness.
- the barrier is advantageously made transparent and allows the natural lighting of the vehicle by sunlight. Passengers have the opportunity to see the surroundings. Also, the aesthetic impression of the driving device is improved.
- conventional, non-transparent partitions form a shield or tunnel. Such a tunnel has a perceived as unpleasant effect on the passengers, which is described in the relevant literature as tunnel syndrome.
- the barrier consists of Plexiglas or acrylic glass or stainless steel or sheet steel or aluminum sheet or granite or marble.
- various sandwich types of different materials for the execution of the barrier are possible.
- the barrier consists of glass or tempered safety glass, which is backed with perforated metal sheet or Riffellochblech.
- a hole or Riffellochblechtafel is positioned behind the glass, creating a kind of fence or barrier effect.
- the various materials can be bonded or glued together to form a sandwich component.
- the barrier can thus be realized with conventional, inexpensive construction material. It is robust enough to withstand vandal or hooligan violent attacks. Again, the aesthetic impression of the vehicle has a pleasant effect.
- the balustrade on balustrade clamps which hold the barrier to fall protection and which are mounted on the balustrade or on the inner or outer lining.
- the balustrade clamp is preferably a Aluminium horrgussklemmme that allows by means of a wedge system a full-surface contact pressure over one or two surfaces on the safety glass.
- the die-cast aluminum clamp is a precision part and allows a more accurate positioning of the fence than before.
- balustrade clamps are fastened to a balustrade post by means of balustrade clamp screws and balustrade clamp nuts.
- balustrade clamps are thus firmly connected to the balustrade.
- the attachment is very robust. Accordingly, the attachment of the barrier is very robust and solid.
- the position of the barrier with respect to the balustrade clamps can be set precisely defined by correcting relative movements between the barrier and the barrier retaining fixture holding the fence. Accordingly, the attachment of the barrier to the balustrade is easily adjustable.
- the safety fence mounting brackets is a continuous "cold worked profile that is extremely processed accurately, thereby forming a dimensionally accurate support body for the safety barrier.
- Des is the safety fence mounting brackets of the bottom end stop and the bottom end seal for the glass Ab Heung.
- the height and lateral arrangement of the glass Ab Heung This means that the mechanical stability of the glass enclosure is considerably increased thanks to the mounting bracket Fence mounting bracket A self-supporting support unit that positions the safety glass over the entire length of the escalator in height.
- the barrier fastening holder transfers the clamping effect over the entire surface of the safety glass. This is a better one
- the inventive method has the advantage that an existing driving device can be made much safer in a simple, fast and cost-saving manner.
- the barrier forms a higher barrier to the fall protection of the passengers than the balustrade itself. The crash of the passengers from the vehicle down is thereby prevented.
